WORKING GROUP ON PEACE AND JUSTICE (WGJP)

Working Group on Justice for Peace (WGJP) was founded in June 2006 as a network of human rights and peace activists to strengthen their nonviolent efforts to protect human rights, promote access to justice and to end impunity. WGJP engages in human rights monitoring and advocacy while encouraging grassroots activism and supporting victims of human rights violations in their fight for justice. WGJP believes that the main catalyst for change are communities themselves and therefore focuses much of their energy and resources on community empowerment.

Cross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) aims at promoting understanding across different cultures. It also works for the promotion and protection of human rights and democracy.

Since then it has been working closely with its partners such as National Human Rights Commission of Thailand, Lawyer Council of Thailand, Thai Volunteer Services towards facilitating vulnerable groups to access justice. CrCF also works to promote and protect the rights of marginalized groups in Thailand such as ethnic groups, migrant workers, and stateless peoples.
